OCG Rulings

  • This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
  • The targeted Normal Trap Card must be a Normal Trap Card whose activation conditions are met at that time. However, you can ignore the conditions "You can only activate 1 ... per turn" and "You can only use this effect of ... once per turn" that are listed on that card. You can also ignore the cost required to activate that card.[1]
  • If this card is activated by targeting a Normal Trap Card that targets, you also choose that target when this card is activated.[1]
  • At resolution, if the targeted card is in the Graveyard, apply "this card's effect becomes that target's activated effect". (Apply the effect resolution that happens when the targeted Normal Trap is activated.) Then, apply "banish that target". (At resolution, if the targeted card is no longer in the Graveyard, the resolution is not applied.)[1]

Q&A Rulings

A: When resolving the effect of "Trap of Darkness", if the targeted Normal Trap Card is no longer in the Graveyard, the effect of "Trap of Darkness" is not applied. (In this case, you do not draw 1 card.)[2]
A: No, you cannot. The effects of those cards only apply the effect resolution listed in the other Normal Trap Card that happens when that card is activated. You must meet the activation conditions listed on that Normal Trap Card, but you do not pay the costs listed on that Normal Trap Card. "Burst Breath" is a Normal Trap Card that requires the ATK of the monster Tributed as a cost to resolve. Therefore, the effect that happens when "Burst Breath" is activated cannot be applied by the effect of "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", "Transaction Rollback", or "Labrynth Barrage". You also cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Burst Breath", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Burst Breath".[3]
A: No, you cannot. You also cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Traptrix Holeutea", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Traptrix Holeutea".[4]
A: You cannot activate "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", or "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Altergeist Manifestation", and you cannot activate "Labrynth Barrage" in Chain to the activation of "Altergeist Manifestation". You also cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Altergeist Manifestation", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Altergeist Manifestation".
Since "Kunai with Chain" has the effect "● When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; change that target to Defense Position", you can activate "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", or "Transaction Rollback" (including the 2nd effect) by targeting "Kunai with Chain", you can activate "Labrynth Barrage" in Chain to "Kunai with Chain", and you can activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Kunai with Chain". If you do, apply the resolution "change that target to Defense Position". (You cannot apply the resolution "equip this card to that target. It gains 500 ATK.")[5]
A: Yes, you can. At resolution, the attack is negated.
If there is a card activation (the resolution is applied by "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", "Labrynth Barrage", or the 1st effect of "Transaction Rollback"), "Set this card face-down instead of sending it to the GY" is also applied.
If there is no card activation (the resolution is applied by "Junk Collector" or the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback"), "Set this card face-down instead of sending it to the GY" is not applied.[6]
A: Yes, you can. At resolution, the activated "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", "Transaction Rollback", or "Labrynth Barrage" is attached to the Special Summoned Xyz Monster as Xyz Material.
However, you cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Xyz Reborn", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Xyz Reborn".[7]
A: No, you cannot. You also cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Pharaoh's Treasure", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Pharaoh's Treasure".[8]
A: As long as there is another card in the same column, you can activate "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", or "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Fuse Line", and you can activate "Labrynth Barrage" in Chain to the activation of "Fuse Line". (You also choose the target to be destroyed at that time.)
However, since "Fuse Line" is a Normal Trap Card that can only be activated while it is Set in the Spell & Trap Zone, you cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Fuse Line", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Fuse Line".[9]
A: As long as it is during either player's Main Phase, you can activate "Trap of Darkness", "Fake Feather", or "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Extinction on Schedule", and you can activate "Labrynth Barrage" in Chain to the activation of "Extinction on Schedule". If you do, at the end of the 3rd Battle Phase after activation, "make both players send all cards they control to the Graveyard" is applied as usual.
However, you cannot activate the 2nd effect of "Transaction Rollback" by targeting "Extinction on Schedule", and you cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by banishing "Extinction on Schedule".[10]
A: You cannot Special Summon monsters by other card effects during the turn you activate "Born from Draconis". In this case, you cannot activate "Trap of Darkness" by targeting a Normal Trap Card (including "Born from Draconis") that includes an effect that Special Summons a monster(s).[11]
